Switch behavior with SSH

There is no username prompt in SSH, (for example: ssh any_username@IP-address). The following configuration examples are related to SSH:

SSH configuration Example: 1:

In the following configuration, the password is entered without the username. Once the enable command is entered, the username prompt will be bypassed.

Operator password: Set            Manager password: Not set
Operator username: Not set        Manager username: Not set 
  • Entering the operator password will log onto the switch in operator mode.

  • Entering the enable command in the operator mode will prompt for the password to be entered for manager mode.

SSH configuration Example: 2:

Operator password: Not set           Manager password: Set
Operator username: Not set           Manager username: Not set
  • Executing any key will log onto the switch in operator mode.

  • Entering the enable command in the operator mode will prompt for the password to be entered for manager mode

  • The manager password will log onto the manager mode.

SSH configuration Example: 3:

Operator password: Set            Manager password: Set
Operator username: Not set        Manager username: Not set
  • Entering the operator password will log onto the switch in operator mode.

  • Entering the enable command in the operator mode will prompt for the password to be entered for manager mode.

SSH configuration Example: 4:

Operator password: Set             Manager password: Set
Operator username: Not set         Manager username: Not set

Both Operator and Manager passwords are the same

  • Entering the password logs onto the switch in the manager mode.
